First things first, I tried another borrowed blanket on my pony to be sure she would be warm if the temps took a turn on us- which it did. It fit pretty well for the most part. A little shy of covering her butt like it should but everywhere else it looked perfect. If she doesn't change too much, I know where to get her one of her own for next winter.
She seemed pretty happy with her new coat and even learned that it not only goes on over her head, it comes off that way too. This does not cause instant death, contrary to her beliefs.
One of the things I'm really liking about my new filly is the way she carries herself and the way she moves naturally. She's pretty expressive and so far I've gotten a lot of great pics of her.
So far she's got a nice length of stride, a good amount of overstep in the walk and most importantly she's relaxed in her work.
Although this pic looks like she's racing around, she really wasn't.
She's nice and round here, reaching deep up under herself and keeping the front end light.
Okay now she's just showing off... 😁
Of course here she's showing off a lot...
What I have heard from my friends- "She has a very deep stride, even for a pony."
"She's really engaging her hind end."
"She's not just pushing off from behind but more like Shoving off."
"If she's doing this good on her own, she's really going to be a bad ass when you start teaching her more."
There are also the occasional swear words escaping mouths when these pictures come up. Two of them far out weigh the others. Lol
